Brantome

Best sport ever watching poor canoeing families getting stuck on this bit!!! Time after time we watched as they laughed there way down usually getting totally soaked..., how very mean we are!

Bourdeilles

Most impressed with this Eco loo!

When one is on ones travels on the continent one is most alarmed by the public loos! However on a most beautiful and scenic walk along the river dronne I was in need and found this sentry box... Yes with very clear instructions - I shed this facility - very clean and no smell I follow the instructions to "recoverez" my "dejections"!! With two cones of sawdust ... I was told I had saved 2 litres of water this way... Bloody brilliant (excuse my French)!

Ps my husband is a bit alarmed about my photographing loos...

Auberterre - church of St. John

Craved out of rock!! 17 meters high!

Vide Granier and lunch

Much enjoyed looking and buying French junk! Bought the sweetest vintage French foldable chair and tray

Chambre Dhotes near Le Mans

Morning walk

There is nothing my beloved husband likes than an early walk... So not to miss the very start of the day we went out ....

Cat lover

After our lovely meal we took a turn around the village mainly so madam could seek out a cat and pet it!!! She had to try really hard most cats we saw wouldn't budge - in the end she managed to entice this cat who it turned out was blind in one eye...but liked the attention.

Oh yes these geraniums were enormous!

En Route to the Dordorgne

Lunch in a local cafe and the a meal to die for in a most basic bar!

Daddy's collection

Can you spit the light bulb still in tack? I found an old false foot - or part off and a strange football! Here is the top of the drive to the campsite... Beautiful!

Compton bay

After climbing down treacherous cliff on wooden ladder which had slumped half way down... It was no surprise to find we were the only ones on this beautiful beech! We found plenty of good fossils.

Compton Farm Capsite

Very peaceful ... Just next to the sea.... Don't worry we didn't share the loo!!! We may have been married 21 years but that is too far!! ( there was a lovely modern clean loo and shower block!)
